Connection: Sep/Oct 2018
Carlsbad
City Library is excited to offer the Career Online High School (COHS) program
from Gale Cengage! It is a fully accredited program that allows adults to
complete their high school diploma, while also developing career skills in a
field of their choice. It’s flexible
and convenient, because students can work at their own pace and around their
individual schedules.
How
do I qualify?
You
must be at least 19 years of age or older and have not completed high school.
Is
there any cost? How can I get a scholarship?
We
award tuition scholarships to applicants on a limited basis. You must first
complete a self assessment and a prerequisite course online, then attend an
in-person interview at the Library Learning Center to make sure you are a good
fit for the program.
What
happens after the interview?
Once
you have been awarded a scholarship, you will enroll in the high school diploma
and career certificate program. Upon completion, you will be invited to
participate in the COHS
graduation ceremony!
What
are the subjects?
English,
Mathematics, Social
Studies
and Science. Career certificates can be earned in one of ten fields.
How
long does it take?
The
time limit to complete COHS is 18 months, but you may be able to complete the
program in less time, if you transfer credits from existing high school
transcripts.
Do
I get a high school diploma?
Do
I get a career certificate?
Yes!
Upon completion of COHS, you will be awarded an accredited high school diploma
AND a career certificate.
What
if I don’t have a computer?
Carlsbad
Library offers free computer use at all three sites with your Carlsbad City
Library card.
COHS
is not limited to learners in our literacy program, so if you know anyone in
the community who would like to earn their diploma, please send them our way!
If
you’d like more information, please ask a Literacy staff member. READ
